1t is rumored that U. S. Marshal
Baird has already had long enough
hold on a government teat and
thinks seriously Of resigning. Con-
gress did not allow any money for
the expenses of the U. S. Marshals,
and to be compelled to advance the
same for the government and then
take chances of its being returned
inside of his term of office is more
tnan the new marshal bargained
for.

LANGUAGE OF NOSES.

The Roman nose denotes a pro-
pensity for adventure.
A wide nose with open nostrils is
mark of great sensuality.
A cleft nose shows benevolence-
it was the nose of ST. Vincent de
Paul.
A straight nose denotes just,
serious, fine, judicious and energet-
ic mind.
The curved, feshy nose is mark
of domination and cruelty. Cath
crime de Medici and Elizabeth of
England had noses of.this kind.
The curved, thin nose is mark
of brilliant mind, but vain, and
disposed to be ironical. 1t is the
nose of a dreamer, poet or critic.
1t is desirable that the nose
should be as long as possible, this
being sign of merit, power and
genius. For instance Napoleon
and Caesar had long noses.
If the line of the nose be re-ent-
rant-that is, if the nose is turned
up-it denotes weak mind, some
times coarse, and generally playful
pleasant, or frolicsome.

The Paris Independent has this
to say about "Stray Boulder" the
lone rock in whose vicinity two
men were killed by foul air in a
shaft: "There is something very
remarkable and very infatuatiug
about this Stray Boulder. This
boulder is huge rock weighing
several tons, very rich in precious
metals, assaying very high in sill
yer and copper and containing
some gold. But it is alone. No
such rock can be found anywhere
in the country. Holes have been
dug in all directions yet nc trace of
the ledge from whence it came can
be found. Experienced miners
from all over the United States
have tried and tried in vain, yet no
trace. Thousands of dollars have
been spent, yet no trace. This sad
fatality is the first death that has
occurred in this fruitless search
after hidden wealth in this To-
cality."

A tin-horn alleged gambler for
some time lately infested the min
ing camp at Flint. His chief re-
source was said to be derived from
plundering helplessly drunken men.
Last Saturday he cruelty battered
up Gee Loi, q harmless Chinaman,
20 years old. The miners looked
into the case, and, on Sunday after
noon, summoned the tin horn with
in their circle, which was drawn up
in the main street, opposite the
company's boarding house. The
culprit was naturally told to quit.
Hat off he attempted to white wash
himself. 1t was Of no use; the
rules and regulations Of ordinary
decency required him to skip,
which he did. The boys at Flint
don't object to gamblers as such, if
they can find anybody to join in
their game; but they don't propose
to hire any sneaks or cowardly per-
sons.

A LUCKY ESCAPE.

Adventure of Boston Gentleman Who
Was Close to Unseen Danger.
My remarks relating to empty houses
have called forth the following from
a correspondent of mine:
A gentleman of this city, living on
Beacon street, was accustomed during
the absence of his family at Nahant to
occupy room in his city house on
stormy nights when he was unable to
reach that stormy promontory with his
yacht. One Saturday night. being
forced by heavy rain and absence Of
wind to give up his projected trip. ho
returned 10 his residence, unlocked the
door, entered and proceeded to light
a candle which he usually left on tho
hall table. He was struck by diminu-
ton of its size. and knowing that ho
alone possessed the keys of the house,
his suspicious were aroused and no
fastened to his bedroom for pair OF
queerly mounted revolvers which he
kept in his bureau drawer. He found
them gone. but being plucky man
he started on tour Of inspection. and
taking first the rooms opening on tho
front staircase, he proceeded to the at
tic and from there down the back stairs
to the cellar. On arriving there he
pushed open the door, and standing up
on the doorsill, examined the place, but
finding nothing to excite his suspicious.
he returned to his room, put out his
light and went to bed. About two
years after two burglars were captured
in New Jersey and sentenced. one Of
them capitally for murder. The man.
before his execution. asked for pen
and paper. saying hc wished to write
to a certain Mr.. Gin Boston. This
was granted, and he wrote the gentle-
man that If he examined the top of .
certain beam in his cellar he would
find his revolvers. which he and his
mate had removed from bis bureau
on the night referred to when his sus.
picions were aroused, and added that
he had followed him closely while ho
was scanning his rooms. and finally
had concealed himself behind the cel-
lar door. which had hidden him when
Mr.. C-opened it. The burglar added

products arc obtained. Tho gas. as it
is carried through the hydraulic main
to the purifying rooms, takes with it
tar and ammonia, the latter evolved
from the nitrogen. The ammonia has
to be washed out with water in an ar.
rangemcnt by which the ammonia is
gathered and saved. Tons and tons OF
sulphatc Of ammonia are thus made.
and become an article OF commerce.
The sulphur is removed by caustic
lime Of oxide Of iron. The carbonic
acid is also removed by lime, but the
sulphurous acid can not DO removed.
and, with several others, remains in

The others give the gas its smell.
By distillation, naphtha and as
phaltum are obtained. Asphaltum is

obtained, very important in surgical
operations as being tho most valuable

used as burning fluid. Bcnzole is a
